Durant is gonna be coming hard. well, Durant did that when the Nets won in Philly. It was Durant who had to back it up, and Embiid got the retaliation in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he still did the annoying Toe-bias and 4 bench guys thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mills was wide open all night who is shooting 43% from 3 but, couldn't make one to save his life in this game. That was the difference. Good win but, still lots of cleaning up to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYEagle Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I knew our defense would suffer without Simmons.......but we suck on defense. But the flip side, every shot, every drive that Maxey does, especially from 3.....I go.....F you Simmons lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HazletonEagle Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Joel and Maxey had another joint PC last night, and he told Maxey he was excellent, and that's how you respond to criticism. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Gotta be able to shoot straight from both sides if you want your criticisms to hold water and not come off as gratuitous slander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khani1 Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 You can tell his confidence is rising too. He has attempted a few 3 pointers that are 3 feet behind the line. That means he is putting the work in. Once he can find the exact formula for playing with Embiid, it's going to be so much fun to watch. Meanwhile, we have "I'm a fn all-star" who just drags this team down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love for him to get right back into Durants face and not laugh about it. He's so much bigger and stronger than most players. Yet whenever there is an altercation, he seems afraid of what it might lead to. I agree, that they better be able to back it up the next time they play. Because we know, Durant will. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like that him and Embiid have been doing those joint press conferencs after games, and laughing it up. Thats how Joel and Jimmy were. Really fun duo to watch goof around together after games. Seeing that relationship grow between Embiid and Maxey means Maxey will be growing more comfortable with him- and in turn- not deferring quite as much in games. And, Embiid has previously stated that he tries to tell Maxey to attack. So, Embiid has told him that. Now theyre getting to be great friends. It should help Maxey play loose, and just play. Rather than deferring all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Embiid is strategic with backing off. He knows how to go right up to the limit, and then back off so that the other player gets the technical, or suspension, or whatever. See the other night with Harrell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
